Remote Control Specifications

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.
Projector Connections
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Projector Placement
You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.
You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location. Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
•Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
•Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.
•Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projector Setup and Installation Options
You can set up or install your projector in the following ways:
22
Front
Rear
Front Ceiling
23
Rear Ceiling
Wherever you set up the projector, make sure to position it squarely in front of the center of the screen, not at an angle, if possible. If the projector cannot be centered in front of the screen, use lens shift to reposition the image instead of using keystone correction for better image quality.
If you project from the ceiling or from the rear, be sure to select the correct Projection option in the projector's menu system.

Projector Setup Settings - Extended Menu
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.)
You can also use the projector Throw Distance Calculator at epson.com/support (U.S.) or epson.ca/support (Canada).
